work_unsuppress.pl

It looks like I had a mad moment and missed the error in the editing process. The line should be:

Use this parameter to specify item statuses which are considered "not in stock". If a work is suppressed and only has "not in stock items" attached then the work will not be unsuppressed from Talis Prism.

The document will be updated today.

Basically the two parameters work in the same way as the same parameters in the work_logdelete.pl script. I would guess that by default you would want the same values in both scripts although this assumption may be wrong.

As with all scripts I would advise testing on the MIS server (or tutor talis) first.

The STATUS_ID is the numeric value used within the ITEM table however each STATUS_ID has a code and name that is visible to users. It is the code that must be used and not the STATUS_ID.

This is the standard approach we take in scripts and is used in this script as well.

Firstly, I thought I added this comment yesterday but couldn't find it today but then again I find this interface confusing (is it just me?) What I asked was could anyone put the below statement into plain English (again is it just me)
Also what code is it using? Is it the STATUS_ID?
Thanks

Use this parameter to specify item statuses which are considered not in stock. If a work is suppressed and only has non in stock items the work attached the work will not be unsuppressed from Talis Prism.
Enter lists of codes separated by a comma.

150 tags

The work_logdelete.pl script will suppress works based on various criteria. There is also a script on the TDN, work_unsuppress.pl that will unsuppress works.

You don't mention your criteria for suppressing but I would have a look at the two scripts first. Unless you have a specific criteria for suppression then if might be easier to suppress the works manually depending on the number. There is a flag in the Quick Manage Work form that allows you to supress from OPAC i.e. insert a 150 tag.

Adding 150 field

Hi
Does anybody have a script that will add a 150 field into records and with the ability to 'switch' it on or off?
Thanks
